ALL BRIGHT ON THE NIGHT

Re­tire the phrase “I woke up like this” for spring. Colour is of­fi­cially back. Blue was the It hue (see Jonathan Saun­ders, Gi­amba, So­nia Rykiel and com­pany), but the run­way still of­fered up a va­ri­ety of rain­bow brights. Kabuki, makeup artist for Man­ish Arora, framed eyes with pris­matic pur­ples and neons, while at Monique Lhuil­lier lids were bluntly lined with emer­ald green or cyan blue. Try us­ing a sat­u­rated cream or gel liner if you’re ready to go bold, and don’t be afraid of DIY: At Issey Miyake, Alex Box brushed liq­uid pig­ment on tem­ples and blew through a straw to cre­ate a unique splash of colour. “It’s more of an artist’s stroke for ap­ply­ing liner. It’s not tra­di­tional, which I think is re­ally pretty,” said Melissa Gib­son, se­nior artist for M.A.C Cos­met­ics.
